pls always take extra rolls of receipt papers from your respective taxi coy ....
Also make sure inside your vehicle , u can find a set of " Manual written receipt book " , if dun have , buy or ask for one from ur taxi coy .
Just in case meter cannot print receipt , still got Manual receipt to issue .
Receipt can only print out once , no duplicate !!!!
Pls learn how to refill the receipt papers .

No . 8 - Total $$$$ collected .
No 12 - Total surcharge collected .
No 18 - Clear datas
No 19 - ENTER .
Press OP to stop operation
-
Never pressed K1 K2 process ..... then K2 again , K2 means changing of per day datas , into whole captured datas since the meter from start , which cannot be deleted , only taxi company can do it .
-
The numbers will appear on the EXTRA lcd screen , just under the FARE .
-
In the event , u stopped meter . ( not knowing pax proceeding to another location )
But pax would want to proceed with the trip .
While the meter is on STOP , press and hold K2 , from STOP will shift to Hired again . Release K2 button .
Normally , if once stopped meter , means stop , because pax did not specific before the trip start . We need not oblige to their request .
For me , they must specific 2 or more places beforehand . Or once i reached first destination , i will stop if they do not remind me .
-
Comfort / CityCab's taximeter , their K2/K3 button function reverse with TransCab and SMRT's taximeter .
-
In the event , u Changing Shift CCK for example , and got a pax who wanna go specifically to Lot-1 taxi stand , so ur roof top then is HIRED , inorder to let known your intention to those waiting customer at the taxi stand , before reaching Lot-1 taxi stand , u pressed [K1] , u will change the roof top indicator to Changing shift CCK , not green , but red in clour . This is enough to inform the customer that u are on the changing shift process , too far cannot take liao .
Like that no dispute and no complaints later on , u'll never know what a simple process like that can avoid complaints .
Go and try it out .
Why complaints will never nail you down ? Cos the meter has captured your instructions , and has recorded into the data base of the taximeter .
-
Like printing of receipt ..
Comfort is K4
TransCab is K1
-
But now Comfort their receipt is printed by the command of their MDT .
Still i last known , K4 also can print .
-
As for Changing of Shift , Comfort and Citycab taxis , not longer using the taxi meter to command the location , command all from their MDT .
TransCab still using taximeter to command it .
Don't ask silly question like why SMRT taxis dun have Changing Shift button ?
Cos SMRT used Blue Light Taxi Sign , not LED Taxi Sign . Except their Limo Merc and Chrysler . Not even their London Cab and Buffalo .
-
Please DO NOT break the LTA's seal on the taximeter , serious offense .
Not really serious offense , just that troublesome . Must make report this and that .
-
Any problems u faced while using the taximeter , cannot figure it out , can always ask me .
I'll be happy to share what i know .
-
ERP & Taximeter : Inorder to prevent drivers from abusing the ERP to overcharge commuters .
LTA regulate that all ERP amount will be linked into the taximeter automatically .
U cannot find any button that allows you to key in manually the ERP charge !
Please proceed to your taxi company to reset your taximeter if ERP do not automatically goes into your taxi meter .

What is my last taxi fare ?

How ?
3 ways
1. By producing a receipt . ( to see itemised fare break-down )
2. From taximemter , Press K3 K4 together , once . ( whole lump taxi fare only )
3. From MDT ( if your have ) , See your individual "History" data .
U'll see your last taxi fare !!!!
Normally i used K3 K4 , fast and easy .
